graphics cut into tint???

Hello. I was just wondering how you guys cut graphics into your tint? I mean obviously you use a plotter, so I guess my question really is how do you apply the tint? what downforce do you use when cutting it? Thanks, Nick

I use a knife

depends: on your plotter, how sharp your blade is, what tint you are using, ect.

I have a roland GX 24. (if that helps) I would also be using some SunTek Standard. I have my car lettered already I thought it would be pretty cool to cut something out of tint and toss it on the windows to help promote business a little. This site is the only place I have ever seen graphics cut into tint so I was thinking of giving it a shot. I have an 02 Dodge Stratus Coupe so the front framless windows are really easy to tint. What I was thinking of doing was cutting the graphics out of vinyl, laying them over my tint once it was installed and follow the vinyl with a razor and remove the vinyl and the tint underneth it. I know it would work but I was wondering if you guys just ran the tint through the machine and intalled the tint that way

Hey guys, I attempted it this morning...I have to say im pretty happy with the results. I don't have the most steady hand in the world so i have to go back and straighten up some lines but over all i like it. I ended up cutting the graphic out of vinyl, laying it on the tint and then cut it free hand using the vinyl as my guide. Let me know what you guys think.

nice job dude
